Here's the Online TurboTax navigation to report estimated taxes you made.   If you have any trouble with this navigation method, there are 2 alternate ways to get there.

 

  • In the left menu column click Federal tab. 
  • Then below that in the same column choose Subtab Deductions & Credits.
  • Next screen may say "Your Tax Breaks."
  • Scroll way down the Tax Breaks page to topic Estimates and Other Taxes Paid.
  • Expand that section and choose subtopic Estimated Tax Payments and click Start (or Revisit).
  • On the next screen, in the Estimated Tax Payments section choose the type of estimated tax payments (Federal, State, Local) and click Start (or Revisit.)

If these are Federal tax payments, then before filing verify these payments are showing up on your Form 1040, Line 26.  And, if applicable, verify any state estimated tax payments show up on your state return.
